Belief

Joan Bakewell explores the beliefs of artists, thinkers, religious leaders and other public figures in a returning series of programmes on Radio 3. In this programme, first broadcast a year ago, Joan speaks to the author, Mark Haddon, writer of the award winning book, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night. He describes himself as an atheist in a very religious mould, someone who is always asking the big questions of life. Where did we come from? Is there a meaning to all of this? For him, science and literature provide answers to these questions and celebrate some of the mysteries of life. (Repeat).
